    Trailer hitch extension yes or no

    A short one won't help you much. They are good for giving you clearance to walk between trailer and tow vehicle, or to open your tailgate. A long one like an extend-a-hitch would help. Is 9' or 12' long enough ? https://extendahitch.net

    Wearing a mask.

    Here in central Wisconsin, we have seen very little of the covid fallout. Few cases, very few deaths, so far. In a third, almost half of the state, we've had only 50 deaths. Very few hospitalized. Very few businesses closed as most were linked to essential industries, ag, forestry, healthcare...

    Bow roller position wrong

    How about if you reverse the strap on the winch, so it comes off the bottom of the winch spool ? ? Or if that can't be done, turn the entire winch around. Perhaps it would fit better with a bow stop, instead of a roller. It doesn't roll, and only one small spot ever touches the hull. Might...

    Need Advice on Trailer Situation

    Trailer Bunk Position

    Well, I'll be the odd man out. I have had 3 boats with that exact hull. My guess is you end up with one of those strakes sitting on top of a bunk must times you load it. My bunks are 5" inside the strakes. And the inside edge of the bunk is 11" from the centerline keel. It seems to be the...

    Getting busy at work.

    Anyone else getting busy at work? A month ago we were told of two major corporate mistakes, which resulted in over 10 million units in surplus inventory. Our products have a sell by date, so the company pulled 3 full weeks out of production over the next 3 months, to reduce inventory...

    size trailer

    Trailer is a little short, and price is a little high. Lots of craigslist sellers get overloaded with email responses, and just kind of give up. They did post their phone number. Probably not much help for you, but perhaps you could have someone call him for you...

    Drain Plug? How is this supposed to work?

    Its quite possible that the boat did not come with a drain. Or it went bad. Looks like someone attached a garboard plug, then lost the plug and used something that would fit ???

    Remote winch hook release ???

    Well, there is "boat2trailer" and "the snapper", both will lock onto and release from the bow eye, but don't allow any winching. Make more for float on or power loaded bass boats. There used to be an extension pole, that was supposed to do what you want, but reviews were poor. If I recall...
